In
2003, a milestone of sorts took place in the academic world of higher education; the publication of the first ratings book of the then, better known online colleges and universities in

or lecture notes or through telephone conversations with mentors but actually taught on line. Barely 20 schools made
the initial ratings list. Today, that list has grown to over 300 and is still growing every day. Each year a new edition
is published, free to the public, courtesy of Global Academy Online, Inc. provided as a public service. There is no charge
for a copy.
